“America’s Next Top Model” rolls out the Cycle 12 contestants

It feels like just yesterday we were complaining about Elina‘s elimination. But yes, it’s yet again time for a new batch of model hopefuls, competing for Tyra’s affection. The CW has released the names and first photographs of the contestants for Cycle 12 of America’s Next Top Model.

While none are confirmed gay as of now, we can still speculate. There’s also a few that, judged on these pictures alone, look as if they’re not up to par (*cough* Kortnie *cough*), but I’m willing to give them a chance along with the rest of the nation.

Allison, 20 — an artist from New Orleans, Louisiana

Aminat, 21 — a student from Union, New Jersey

Celia, 25 — a fashion sales designer from Cynthiana, Kentucky

Fo, 19 — a student from Albuquerque, New Mexico

Isabella, 19 — an aspiring model from Barboursville, Virginia

Jessica, 18 — a student from Bradenton, Florida

Kortnie, 24 — a non-profit organizer from Houston, Texas

London, 18 — a student from Arlington, Texas

Natalie, 19 — a student from Palos Verdes, California

Nijah, 19 — an aspiring model from Rancho Cucamongo, California

Sandra, 19 — a student from Rockville, Maryland

Tahlia, 18 — a student from Phoenix, Arizona

Teyona, 20 — a loss prevention rep from Woodstown, New Jersey

Do you see anyone who might be following in the footsteps of Kim Stolz or Megan Morris — or one who might even win?
